One of our Superheroes!

Amanda Duffy

My name is Amanda Duffy and I am a Registered Nurse, Superhero Project board member and proud NICU mom of two beautiful Girls, Ella and Ava .

I became extremely passionate about supporting babies and families in the NICU in 2018 when our first daughter made her unexpected early arrival at 34 weeks due to preeclampsia. While I spent several days in the hospital recovering from delivery complications I received a care package with a hand written note from Kelly, founder of the Superhero Project & NICU mom offering love and support. From that moment forward I knew this was where I needed to be and started working on bringing awareness to the NICU. One year later we welcomed our second baby girl Ava who was born at 36 weeks due to Placenta Abruption.

 I understand first hand the stressors that come along with leaving your baby in the NICU and the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment when you find out you baby is finally coming home. This major milestone is the moment every family waits for and deserves to be celebrated for the amazing accomplishment that it is. My hope is that every family feels the love and support for their NICU Superhero the same way I feel for mine when they receive this hand made graduation day care package on discharge day!

Thank You!

President Container group

We are so grateful for President Container Group & their PCG cares program for their commitment to helping fund our BEAUTIFUL NICU Graduation Day boxes. This amazing company donated 500 boxes that will be filled for 500 needy families. Take a peek at this incredible company who is ensuring that NICU families celebrate the day they get to bring their baby home.

We are thankful to Rich Goldberg, VP of the container group for supporting The Superhero Project and the families we serve.

“His grandson Emerson spent 70 days in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU) when he was born. In those difficult days, his family found out about the Superhero Project, which supports families of NICU babies across the country during their hospital stays.

“They wanted to have a NICU graduation system where as the babies leave the NICU, the parents would get a swaddler, a blanket, a little graduation hat, all those things, and they wanted to put it in a gift box. So, immediately when they showed me their idea, I brought it to Larry, and it’s right up the alley for PCG Cares,” said Goldberg.

That’s what inspired them to donate 500 boxes to the Superhero Project.

“We need to give back. The corrugated industry has been very good to us, to the family, to our community. Now, it’s time for us to give back and try to help out wherever we can,” said Grossbard.”
